Hosea 13:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 The labor pains of childbirth come for him;
he is an unwise son
because at the proper time, he does not present himself
at the mouth of the womb.[a]
14 Should I redeem them from the power[b] of Sheol? [c]
Should I deliver them from death?
Where are your plagues, O Death?
Where is your destruction, O Sheol?[d]
Compassion is hidden from my eyes.
15 Although he may flourish among reeds,[e]
the east wind will come, a wind of Yahweh
rising from the desert;
his fountain will dry up,
his spring will be parched.
It will plunder his treasury,[f]
every object of desire.
